guitar mics and vocal mics

[laaaakes5]

my band has started recording our demo we got one song done. the drums sound alright. and the bass is pretty good. put our guitars sound alittle off and the vocals aren't too good. for the guitar we use a sm 57 at the cab on the speaker. (there is only one) and a mxl 990 conderser about 2-3 feet away to get the room feel to it. and for the vocals we use the mxl 990. i have a copy of waves so i have some good eq plugins and stuff. any advise to get a nice sound. we play like average rock stuff. mixed with a slight old skool rock / rock and roll sound for some of the guitar. just thought id ask to see if anyone has any info that will help us in the recording
